How many more years will it take before network marketers realize that the best way to attract prospects isn’t a pitch?
The best “ads” aren’t scripted sales messages…
They aren’t long-winded product posts…
They aren’t desperate “Join my team!!” pleas…
The best “ads” are just relevant people using your products and living the lifestyle—without a CTA.
Customers Are Digitally Native (They Know When You’re Selling)
People aren’t dumb.
They can smell a pitch from a mile away.
If they see you posting a screenshot of your commission check with “DM me to learn how!!”
…they scroll right past.
If they see you blasting before-and-after photos with a 10-paragraph caption?
…they keep scrolling.
But…
If they see you actually using the product in your life?
If they see you enjoying the benefits without pushing it on them?
If they see someone they trust using it and loving it?
They will find it. They will buy it.
No CTA necessary.
The Hierarchy of Influence in Network Marketing
Let’s break it down:
✅ Unpaid endorsement is best. (You love the product and it’s obvious.)
⚡ Paid endorsement is okay. (You’re an affiliate or earning commissions, but it still feels natural.)
😐 Good ads are neutral. (Promotions that don’t feel salesy.)
❌ Obvious ads are bad. (People can tell you’re just trying to sell them something.)
🚨 Obviously bad ads are worst. (Desperate, spammy, inauthentic pitches.)
This is why some network marketers thrive and others struggle.
The best ones understand that attraction beats promotion.
The worst ones chase customers away with constant, aggressive sales tactics.
What This Means for You
If you want to build a network marketing business the right way, here’s the formula:
📌 Live the lifestyle. Use the product, share your journey, and let people see the transformation naturally.
📌 Be someone they trust. Show up consistently, provide value, and build relationships before you ever pitch.
📌 Let curiosity do the work. Make them wonder, “What is she using? Why does she have so much energy? How is he making money from his phone?”
📌 Make it easy to buy. When they ask, “What is it?” or “How do I get started?”—have a simple answer ready.
Why Don’t Most Network Marketers Do This?
Because it’s easier to spam links than to build influence.
Because it’s faster to post a promo than to nurture relationships.
Because they’re thinking short-term commissions instead of long-term trust.
But the ones who get this?
They build audiences. They build teams. They build brands that last.
And they never have to “sell” again.
The Bottom Line
Stop thinking like a salesperson.
Start thinking like a trusted advisor.
The best way to grow your network marketing business isn’t selling harder.
It’s showing up so well that people WANT to buy from you.
